The PH of the Poop would depend on the Feed.

So the best way is to test it !

Ohh, and I was watching Dirty Jobs the other day. It was the Brown before Green Episode number 2 . Anyway he was taking road kill like deer and bringing them to a Compost factory :shock:

You can't use straight up chicken poop. It's too high in nitrogen and will burn your plants. It needs to sit for some time, how long I don't know. Also if they have dead chickens rotting into the poop I wouldn't use it at all, So much bacteria will be living in the poop from the dead chickens and will most likely kill your plants.
